Bills concerning counties can originate from the National Assembly and the Senate. It also said that the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) is constitutional. It almost described the National Assembly as the upper House. The Supreme Court declared. It is not my own making. The ruling is in public."

I am sure it will declare the position. Please, we want to develop our country, support devolution and support all institutions of this country to function in accordance with the Constitution. Nobody should badmouth the National Assembly by saying that we are doing anything wrong or it is an affront to devolution. With those few remarks, Hon. Speaker, that is the position of the National Assembly."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for taking leadership in this matter. I also thank the leaders of the National Assembly, Hon. Junet, Hon. Millie, the Chairman of Budget and Appropriations Committee, Hon. Osoro, and myself, who sat in that meeting in the morning to come up with resolutions that take a firm position that everybody should respect their positions. First, I reiterate the sentiments by Hon. Junet. As a House, we support devolution and we will go out of our way to ensure that it works. However, that should not be used to arm- twist the National Assembly and say that we do not support devolution. One of the things was that this case must be rested so that a judgement does not ensue so that we can deal with the county Bill that is before us. As a House, we will stand very firm on this matter and governors must respect the space of the National Assembly as we respect theirs. We shall ensure that what is due to Members of the National Assembly or the national Government remains in the national Government because the funds they are fighting for are national Government funds that are available to the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KERRA) and the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA). Therefore, as I reiterate the position, Members yesterday felt very aggrieved, but the leadership The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": "of the House will protect Members and ensure that what they will require as funds for roads will remain there. Lastly, governors have for a long time tried to poke holes to get much more every time. It is time we rested this matter. We pass a law, they go to court. They even want to go court on the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). It is time they stopped doing that to ensure that we have a smooth country where everybody remains on his lane and does the functions that they have been given. We wish the governors well. When they get money, let them implement projects that help their constituents; the county. They should allow the national Government to also do its work so that all this put together takes our country forward. Again, I reiterate what Hon. Junet said. The letter that was published by Hon. Anyang’ Nyong’o yesterday was in bad faith. As the National Assembly, we condemn it and it must remain condemned. Every governor must take their position as it is and do their work instead of spending a lot of time trying to do things that are unnecessary. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
